How to Draw Eyes

Learn how to draw eyes in the next video in this series. The eyes are regarded as the 'soul' of a face and it's so important to get them drawn correctly.

The video gives you lots of handy tips on achieving this every time. Note that the guidelines are curved to represent the 3-dimensional effect of the face.

And do you see that you rarely show the full roundness of the eyeball. It is normally partially covered by the top eyelid and frequently also by the bottom lid.

I hope you found that useful. Doesn't that tiny spot of white left in the dark part of the iris bring it to life?

Why not also have a look at how to draw a face?

Hi Robert, just want to say thank you so much for your emails, so much information and learning in them, and the videos are wonderful. Love your art and the art displayed on the links. Once again thanks, you have no idea of the enjoyment they bring.

I just wanted to say that I stumbled upon your acrylics tutorial on YouTube quite by accident and have fallen in love with it. I've been showing it to several friends who always ask me about art -- I'm an artist by profession -- and they all love it too. Thanks so very much. :) It is most appreciated.
